I recently booked a hotel room in Los Angeles which was listed on Hotwire as 4.5-star. After the fact, wanting to get more info on the property, I jumped over to "their quality travel partner Orbitz" and found that the hotel was only rated 3-star. AAA agrees. So do various other online booking sites. That's a whole 1.5-star discrepancy.
Is there any chance of getting them to cancel the reservation?
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">According to "Guide to Consumer Law" by the American Bar Association:
A contract can be also be canceled by a court because of fraud. Fraud is when one person knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that the other person reasonably relied on and that disadvantaged that other person. A material misrepresentation is an untrue statement of "fact" that is important to the deal, "material" meaning it would affect the terms you'd agree to it if you knew the truth. In many states, this misrepresentation doesn't have to be made on purpose to make the contract voidable.</font>
